A novel set in Budapest and Lewes
A novel published this week is set partly in Budapest and partly, by coincidence, in
Lewes!
Hungarian Dances follows three generations of a family of
Hungarian musicians and spans some eighty years, from 1918 to the present day: it is
described as 'a love story, a mystery and a tale of extraordinary personal
transformation'.
The book was published by Hodder &
Stoughton this week, launched in a presentation at the Hungarian Cultural Centre in London
on 4 March, organised by the British-Hungarian Fellowship. At the event Lady Valerie
Solti made a speech and violinist Tasmin Little performed Bartók.
A paperback edition will be published on 24 July, and an associated CD of violin
music by Hungarian composers may be released around then too.
Author Jessica Duchen
spends much of the summer in the Lewes area - her husband is a violinist in the London
Philharmonic Orchestra which plays at Glyndebourne from May to August. Hungarian
Dances is her third novel. She is also a music journalist for The Independent.
There's a special website devoted to the book and to more about the Hungarian background.
You can even download the first few pages as a taster. Click on the book

from Colin Penny, Matra Wildlife Tours
Jó estét kivánok to the members of Sussex Hungarian Society ! I
thought I'd drop you a line as my partner, Terez, and I have started a small eco-tourism
venture in the Matra mountains of Hungary, and we wondered if it might be of interest to
some of your members. Please take a look at our web site for more information.
As the site says, although we mainly provide holidays for wildlife enthusiasts, we
are also able to provide tours of castles and historic cities. We can arrange light
aircraft or glider flights from the local airfield, and also trips to watch matches
from the professional women's handball (női kézilabda) league. In
closing, we wish you continued success with your comparatively new society, and hope to
meet some of your members in Hungary sometime in the future.Find
